Sorry for this random ass post, but I just had to make something clear, after being informed a hella lot
We can still fight back, and get Net Neutrality restored, and the next vote for the House of Representatives is in a few weeks if I am correct
You may not see the effects tomorrow, but very slowly, the effects will kick-in very, very slowly that we won’t be able to see it overtime (Keep your eyes open if you see anything related to the effects)
Net Neutrality is still here, it’s just dying very, VERY slowly overtime
And fact, there’s ways to go on the internet when the effects kick in according to this post I have reblogged
Guys, we can do this, and we CAN win this, and we cannot give up, even after Net Neutrality gets repealed tomorrow
Keep fighting with your voices, this battle will end very soon, but we may not know what will happen to the vote
Keep. Fighting.
I was interested when I first read but the minute my eyes hit “YOUR BONES ARE NOW MY COAT” I was physically choking with laughter and do not regret reading this
We're going to need some clarification on what the fuck 'bone coat' means exactly
ok i dont have any screenshots right now but in a deleted weirdmageddon scene once bill realizes he cant escape gravity falls he turns to the henchmaniacs for ideas on how to get out. one proposes a stupid idea, bill turns him to dust.
another proposes another stupid idea, bill says “YOUR BONES ARE NOW MY COAT.” the henchmaniac immediately flops over, with no internal support for all his meats, and the shot cuts to bill who is now adorned in a fucking coat, complete with evil looking collar and everything, made of the henchmaniac’s skeleton.
Come forth, fellow asexuals!
I’m honestly really curious to see how many people actually accept it. Because there are allot of people who don’t believe it’s real. Or at the least don’t accept it when somebody they know come out as asexual.
As of July 4th 2018, the Internet as we know it might be dead for good.
The European Parliament is passing a new Copyright Directive. Article 13 #CensorshipMachine will impose widespread censorship of all the content we share online. Art, fanfiction, parodies, remixes, mashups, memes, etc.. Anything that you do not hold the rights over will be taken down.
Article 13 would force all online platforms to police and prevent the uploading of copyrighted content, or make people seek the correct licenses to post that content. Internet platforms hosting large amounts of user-uploaded content must monitor user behaviour and filter their contributions to identify and prevent copyright infringement.
Such filters will be mandatory for platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit and Instagram, but also much smaller websites.

This doesn’t just affect Europe. The content creators you love are going to be in hot water for sharing their art and writing with you online. Any and all content that doesn’t belong to us will be filtered. Even memes are at risk, as the person who took the original photo may want to file complaints against any platform that allows it to be used without permission. But it goes even further than that.
Last Tuesday (19th June 2018) a group of more than 70 people who have played important roles in building the internet and developing it (Tim Berners-Lee, Vincent Cerf, Jimmy Wales, Mitchell Baker…) into what it is today addressed an open letter to the members of the European Parliament:
“As creators ourselves, we share the concern that there should be a fair distribution of revenues from the online use of copyright works, that benefits creators, publishers, and platforms alike.
But Article 13 is not the right way to achieve this. By requiring Internet platforms to perform automatic filtering all of the content that their users upload, Article 13 takes an unprecedented step towards the transformation of the Internet from an open platform for sharing and innovation, into a tool for the automated surveillance and control of its users. […] The damage that this may do to the free and open Internet as we know it is hard to predict, but in our opinions could be substantial.”
Here is the original Article 13. It’s even scarier. / Link 2
Here is how to contact your MEPs.
Here is a full list of everything that will be affected.

Oi, net neutrality got repealed but don’t forget this November 😉.
